apple to ⁢Exclusively Broadcast Formula 1 in the U.S. starting ⁣in 2026

Apple will ⁢become the exclusive⁣ home of Formula 1 broadcasts in the United States beginning ‌in⁤ 2026, a partnership heralded ‍as a major ‌shift in the sport’s media landscape.⁤ The agreement encompasses ⁢live streaming of every Grand Prix, Sprint, ⁢qualifying session, and⁣ practice session on Apple TV.

To broaden accessibility, select races and all practice sessions will be available for free through the Apple TV app. Moreover, F1 TV Premium, Formula⁣ 1’s current subscription⁤ service, will‌ be offered ‍exclusively⁢ through Apple ⁢TV in the U.S., with existing subscribers receiving ⁤complimentary‌ access as part of the new package.

This collaboration extends beyond race⁤ coverage, with Apple planning to integrate formula 1‍ content‍ across its wider ecosystem, including Apple News, Apple Maps, Apple Music, Apple Sports, and Apple Fitness+. The⁢ goal is to create a “multi-platform, immersive experience” for fans.

The ⁤declaration builds on‍ the success of F1: The Movie, an Apple Original Film released in June ⁣2025 and arriving on Apple TV on December ⁣12. Produced in close ⁢collaboration with⁢ Formula 1 teams and drivers, the film has generated nearly $630 million worldwide, becoming the highest-earning ⁢sports movie of⁣ all time.

Both Apple and Formula 1 highlighted the potential to attract a⁢ younger and more diverse audience. A 2025⁢ Global ⁢F1 Fan Survey revealed that 47%⁤ of‌ new U.S. F1 fans ⁤(those following ‍the⁤ sport for five years or less) are between ⁢18 and 24 years old, and ⁤over half are‍ female.

Stefano ⁤Domenicali,‍ President‌ and CEO of Formula 1, stated, “This ‌is an incredibly exciting partnership for both Formula 1 ‌and Apple that will ensure we can continue to maximise ⁤our growth potential in the U.S. with the right content and innovative distribution ⁣channels. We are no strangers to each other, having spent the past three years working together to create F1® The Movie, which ‌has already proven to⁢ be a huge hit around the world. We have a shared vision⁣ to⁢ bring this amazing sport to our fans in the U.S.‌ and entice new fans through live broadcasts, engaging content, and a year-round approach to keep them hooked.”

Eddy Cue, Apple Senior Vice President ⁢of Services, added, “We’re thrilled‍ to expand our relationship with⁣ Formula 1 and offer Apple TV⁣ subscribers in the U.S. ‌front row access to one of the most‌ exciting and fastest-growing sports on the planet. 2026⁢ marks a transformative new era for‍ Formula 1 from new teams ‌to new regulations and cars with the ⁢best drivers in ⁣the world, and we look forward to delivering premium ⁤and innovative fan-first coverage to ‍our customers in a way that only Apple can.”

The agreement is one of Formula 1’s most significant media deals to date, solidifying Apple’s role in⁣ the sport’s U.S.expansion strategy as F1 continues to grow in North america. Further ‍details regarding new production features and the presentation of⁢ the sport ⁢across Apple’s platforms are‌ expected in the coming months.

Here’s how it works: Reserve your blood donation appointment online at www.blutspende.de/termine, donate blood and then take part in the raffle at www.blutspende.de/aktion-leben- Feiern. The next blood donation appointment in the region is on Tuesday, October 15th, from 2:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., in the Pestalozzi Hall, Rathausstrasse 3, in Hockenheim.

According to the DRK, around 15,000 blood donations are needed every day in Germany, based on a five-day week. Due to the limited shelf life, every blood donation counts, every day.

At the moment, the baby boomer generation is still the foundation for blood donations. But she will increasingly need donations herself. “That’s why we need more young people who are willing to donate blood consistently and regularly,” emphasizes DRK spokesman Martin Oesterer.
